Hi-

Red McKenzie, the comb guy,is my great uncle. Bing Crosby said that he emulated him for his singing style. If you know of any other videos of him, please post a comment here.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for posting this! I love the sounds these guys put out. Would you know when this film was made? Is this a "pre Jazz Singer" film?

Update - the "St. Louis Blues" clip is from "9' O'Clock Folks"

also - look for Pete Devine Jug band clips - a slightly more modern version of this kind of music. lots of fun!

Here is a hint: put the words Mound City Blue Blowers in the search box at the top of every Youtube page (if you are not watching an embedded clip.) "My Gal Sal" and "San" are currently available here.

Then put Mound City Blue Blowers Video into google search and you will find a few more - "9 O'Clock Folks" is a short film that includes them. There are many audio recordings of them around.
